Marriages in Pateley Bridge, Yorkshire in 1818

[davidft]

just a thought but if you have  not already why not email the archives and ask them if they have copies of the registers and if they can look to see if there are any marriages in 1818 in the actual registers. Tell them you have looked at the bishops transcripts and you are trying to find if there is a difference between the actual registers and the bishops transcripts, as there sometimes are.

According to Genuki the registers are deposited at North Yorks Archives (Northallerton) and not West Yorkshire where some of the transcripts are

The BTs depended on the priest or some clerk copying them out and if Rev Neesom was a bit derelict in his duties he may not have bothered for that year. It looks as if the church was pretty derelict then and it was closed in 1826 and a new one built in a more convenient location in the town.

David,
thank you for that information, I'll get in touch with North Yorks Archives to see if they can help.
I'm still not up to speed on where I can find information

LizzieL,
that's why I thought a look at the original registers would be the way to go. Thanks.

I have often wondered about this year gap in the records, it has been interesting to read your ideas. Shame I have nothing to add, except possibly that St Marys was closed for a while. It was a chapelry of Ripon at the time and folk may have had to go there for marriages. A check of Ripon's records for that year might give clues.
